One Kiddikins based program has grown from one class to five classes with names on an interest list 5 years in advance! Initial start-up equipment costs for a Kiddikins based program are very minimal (> $1500). The more costly items, the Kiddikins kit, a certified first aid kit, small class refrigerator, project staples (scissors, stapler, bins etc.) and activities for ‘centres time’ can all be used year after year. Kiddikins creative projects supplies are required each year, but projects are designed using a small amount of supplies that are typically readily available at low cost in most communities.
